Everyone in the capital knew that King Zhao Qi Zhao was not interested in his betrothed princess.
On the wedding night, he didn't even lift his hijab, and left with the words "Everyone gets what he needs".
Shen Yingli was also happy to be quiet and immersed herself in studying medical books every day.
But later——
She checked the pulse of another man, and the cup in his hand broke.
She said a few words to the guard, and the guard was transferred to the border the next day.
She accidentally sprained her foot, so he picked her up and carried her across the street without saying a word.
Shen Yingli: "My lord, didn't you say you don't like me?"
Qi Zhao pulled her into his arms: "Did I say so?"
Shen Yingli: "You said everyone gets what he needs."
Qi Zhao looked down at her, with an uncontrollable light in his eyes: "The one I want is you."
He thought he had hidden it well, but the whole capital saw that his eyes were fixed on her.
